• 00:00Pleasure to present this work at my home.
• 00:03Let me share my slides here. One second.
• 00:15Alright, so in the next hour or so,
• 00:19my colleague and I will be introducing
• 00:22you yell chat together the acronym Stand
• 00:27for Compassionate Home Action together.
• 00:30This is a Co-op, diversity mental health
• 00:32movement that we started about a year ago,
• 00:35but during the pandemic we have
• 00:38been expanding quite a bit.
• 00:40Now let me introduce what are the
• 00:43thinking an calling behind this.
• 00:45It started me as an Asian American child
• 00:48psychiatry training and a group of very
• 00:51talented colleague who are passionate
• 00:53to do something for the Asian Americans.
• 00:56They include yell undergraduate students,
• 00:59graduate students, medical students,
• 01:02international students,
• 01:03and scholar inside and outside of Yale.
• 01:08As you all know, in this pandemic
• 01:11has provoked so much emotions,
• 01:13it began with the worries about
• 01:16our physical health and safety.
• 01:18Then he is the fear, anger,
• 01:21loneliness from the ongoing pandemic
• 01:23related injustice from the society,
• 01:26including the Daily News Reporter about
• 01:28Sina phobic attack against Asian American.
• 01:31And then later on,
• 01:33black Life Matters and many more
• 01:36from the society.
• 01:38Deep reflection make us ponder what
• 01:41it means to be a minority in this
• 01:44country and what it means to be the
• 01:47next generation of children growing
• 01:49up in this unprecedented time.
• 01:52As a trainee at the Yale Child Study Center,
• 01:56as we all learn from Doctor Stube,
• 01:59we have the mission to make this world a
• 02:02better place for our children and families.
• 02:06With all this statement.
• 02:07This is what we're trying to achieve as
• 02:10chat together through interactive theater,
• 02:13we want to translate mental health to
• 02:16a language that can be understood by
• 02:19all through words, images and acting.
• 02:22Particularly acting,
• 02:23we put action that we can do
• 02:26something for one another.
• 02:29This is also a culturally sensitive program
• 02:32in which we promote healthy child pairing,
• 02:36communication,
• 02:37and emotional Wellness.
• 02:38We want to break the stigma of mental
• 02:43health so that we can talk mental
• 02:46health in our daily conversation.
• 02:48Lastly, chat together.
• 02:50Want to promote intercultural empathy
• 02:53as we all know we started this program
• 02:57within Asian American minority.
• 02:59But we need your help today to Unite
• 03:03across minorities including the ethnic
• 03:06minority and minority such as LGBTQ woman,
• 03:10gender, who maybe all of these are
• 03:14particularly vulnerable during this pandemic.
• 03:18Ultimately,
• 03:19we can all chat together.
• 03:23Now with this statement I would like
• 03:26to introduce the outline of this
• 03:28talk which also give you a snapshot
• 03:31of what we do in the organization.
• 03:33So we have theater arm in which our
• 03:37students and colleagues use the personal
• 03:40narrative to construct skits that
• 03:43features Asian child parent conflict.
• 03:46Indeed,
• 03:46today we will live perform one of the
• 03:49skit to show everyone how does that work.
• 03:53Two, we have public education arm.
• 03:55We constructed Flash card
• 03:57comics and podcasts.
• 03:59The follow up the teaching tool
• 04:02teaching point from the skit so that
• 04:05we translate what we learn into lay
• 04:09language to the comment to the community.
• 04:13We also have a research on
• 04:15in which we translate
• 04:17the academic question that could
• 04:19be interesting from the skin.
• 04:22We follow up with qualitative
• 04:24study and survey.
• 04:26For we have peer support ARM.
• 04:29Some of our member and I serve,
• 04:32consultation and peer support to
• 04:34the local New Haven community.
• 04:37Lastly, we also have collaboration
• 04:39on we work with artists,
• 04:41see the people and I will introduce one
• 04:44of the pilot project involving a school
• 04:47based project and I will talk about that.
• 04:51And Lastly I would like to call for action
• 04:55and talk about our future direction.
• 04:58So theater arm?
• 05:00How does that work?
• 05:02A group uses drama vignette as
• 05:04a way to capture specific themes
• 05:07of child parent conflict.
• 05:10Each of the skate has three parts.
• 05:13The first part we have a member to
• 05:16act out the problematic scenario.
• 05:19Chill.
• 05:20Me as the moderate are our call
• 05:23freeze and I will go in and process
• 05:26as the perspective of child and
• 05:29the parent will go over what go
• 05:32wrong and what could be changed.
• 05:35Three, as if everything in life has a tech.
• 05:40Two, we will.
• 05:41We do the same skit after incorporating
• 05:44more effective communication skill
• 05:47leading to an alternative scenario.
• 05:50Now in the past we have a skid related at
• 05:54the topic about COVID-19 family conflict.
• 05:58Black Life Matters discussion within
• 06:01Asian family LGBTQ coming out in
• 06:04Asian family mental health and
• 06:06stigma and also academic expectation.

• 09:31I've just been really,
• 09:32you know, schools being closed.
• 09:34I can't see my friends.
• 09:36I can't go anywhere I like,
• 09:38I've been getting so much crap
• 09:40online from these random people.
• 09:42I don't even go to school with them,
• 09:45just these random people keep harassing
• 09:47me about like coronavirus and like,
• 09:49oh, it's your fault because you're
• 09:51Asian and delete Instagram then.
• 09:53I blocked them and I'm not gonna.
• 09:56I can't delete Instagram because that's like.
• 09:59I like it. And I, that's how I talk to
• 10:02my friends. There's something
• 10:04called calling your friends or
• 10:05zooming them. Dad, no windows.
• 10:07That is awkward. That's because you're
• 10:09awkward. Oh my God, there are
• 10:11said I have the weird kid.
• 10:12That's so mean when you
• 10:14say that I don't think you
• 10:16understand I'm just being real. These
• 10:18are your problems.
• 10:19These things I'm making with happy.
• 10:21So you need to just stop thinking
• 10:23about these Internet strangers
• 10:24and you won't be unhappy.
• 10:26You don't need to see a doctor.
• 10:28OK, just don't be unhappy.
• 10:30Dad, I tried to do that but it
• 10:32doesn't work. It's more than that.
• 10:34That's why I think I need help. I
• 10:36I'll tell you right now,
• 10:38just think about other people's lives.
• 10:39Like for example there are
• 10:41kids in China were like don't
• 10:42have their parents around.
• 10:44They have to do all the housework,
• 10:45nothing going work.
• 10:46All these jobs are paying very little
• 10:48money and life is super hard for them.
• 10:50You don't have to do that like think
• 10:53about that your life is so much
• 10:55better just to have some perspective.
• 10:56I know that like yes, I'm very happy that
• 10:59I don't have to like God. But dad, that's
• 11:03that's it doesn't work.
• 11:05That's what's wrong with you.
• 11:06You haven't tried it. I
• 11:08have tried it and it doesn't help.
• 11:10It doesn't make me happier to know
• 11:13that other people are suffering it.
• 11:15Like honestly, it makes me more
• 11:17sad why, like? Well, I think about
• 11:19something sad and I stop to think about
• 11:22how much worse it could be. I appreciate
• 11:24my situation more. Try that. Yeah,
• 11:26like I appreciate the house in the roof
• 11:29and not having to be in child labor.
• 11:31Yeah, there's nothing to
• 11:33be sad about.
• 11:34But I'm still, you and Mom
• 11:35are arguing all the time.
• 11:37You're always yelling at me.
• 11:38And like with Gramma getting sick
• 11:40last week, but she's better this
• 11:42week. She got shot. She got better. Yeah, I
• 11:44get that I know that, but I was still scared.
• 11:47It's just too much and I don't know
• 11:49how to but there's nothing wrong so
• 11:52you don't need to see a doctor.
• 11:54You don't need to think
• 11:55about hurting yourself.
• 11:56There's nothing wrong with you, OK?
• 11:58Oh my God, dad, I'm trying
• 12:00to tell you that I need
• 12:02help. I am helping you like
• 12:03I'm here to help you right now.
• 12:06We all love you. OK so you'll be fine.
• 12:08OK they just think about happy
• 12:10things so that you won't be
• 12:11thinking about hurting yourself
• 12:13and you don't even see a doctor.
• 12:15OK, just try to be more happy.
• 12:17Jessica alright.
• 12:19If you don't find, I'll try.
• 12:24Alright, freeze. OK, sounds a dad
• 12:28and Jessica were pretty upset.
• 12:30Obviously an less pause and
• 12:32talk about it now Jessica,
• 12:35tell us what was going on just now.
• 12:40I feel like my dad, he doesn't really
• 12:42want to listen to what I have to say.
• 12:44He just wants me to not be sad anymore
• 12:46and he doesn't really want to hear what
• 12:49I've been going through an I've been
• 12:50asking to see a doctor and he doesn't
• 12:52think that's going to be helpful.
• 12:54He thinks it isn't really
• 12:55like an illness or anything.
• 12:57So it sounds like you're
• 12:59trying to reach out for help,
• 13:01but that is not listening.
• 13:03Yeah, OK, if if you can put your
• 13:06feeling into words to describe it,
• 13:08but what would that like?
• 13:10What would that feel like?
• 13:13Well it makes me.
• 13:15Feel really hopeless?
• 13:17'cause there's things that he's
• 13:18been telling me to do, obviously,
• 13:20and that's the first thing I tried
• 13:22and I think I'm at a point where I
• 13:24can't really do this on my own and I
• 13:27need like a doctor or somebody to get
• 13:29me professional help to get out of this,
• 13:31because otherwise I don't know how
• 13:33much longer I can deal with this.
• 13:36So Sansa, you are really
• 13:37crying out for help,
• 13:39you need help right now, yeah.
• 13:42I see now now so now to Dad,
• 13:45you know, really upset?
• 13:47Just now to help but
• 13:49understand what was going on.
• 13:52I was just really worried about
• 13:53Jessica hurting herself like,
• 13:55especially after finding that pill bottle.
• 13:57I just really want her to try and focus
• 13:59on being happy because she has so much
• 14:01to be happy in her life or like I just.
• 14:04I just don't want him to be sad.
• 14:06Just wanted to focus on being happy.
• 14:09So you worry for her at the same time,
• 14:12you're trying to figure out something.
• 14:14Some solution to fix this?
• 14:16Yeah, I'm trying to help you right now.
• 14:18OK, well I'm a neutral observer here.
• 14:21I don't judge, but I'm trying to
• 14:23point out some observation and
• 14:25see what Jessica and you think,
• 14:28what you, what your perspective. OK.
• 14:30One thing that I notice at the beginning
• 14:33is sounds like Dad mentioned the phrase
• 14:36what's wrong with you couple of times.
• 14:39So you know like what's wrong
• 14:41with you in Asian language,
• 14:43perhaps in especially in Chinese.
• 14:45What's wrong with you,
• 14:47man, you're someone T or.
• 14:49The amendment I sounds like a pretty neutral
• 14:52phrase to go to means what is going on,
• 14:55but if what's wrong with you
• 14:58directly translate into English
• 14:59in my son's a little hurtful,
• 15:01perhaps I don't judge here,
• 15:03but like I we are here to
• 15:05wonder together so Jessica,
• 15:07like what is that phrase?
• 15:09What's wrong with you make you feel
• 15:12when that mentioned at the beginning?
• 15:15Well, that phrase makes me feel like
• 15:17I'm purposefully trying to feel sad like
• 15:19I'm doing this to myself, which I'm not.
• 15:22It also makes me feel like he's
• 15:24blaming me for how I'm feeling.
• 15:27Haha so so that sounds like you
• 15:30also interpret that as like her for
• 15:32like the problem is coming from you.
• 15:35Sounds like OK Ann and Dad like,
• 15:37we don't assume what we say is what
• 15:40you meant when you mention what's
• 15:42wrong with you, what was on your mind?
• 15:45What were you trying to say?
• 15:48Uh, so I can catch these.
• 15:50I might say, like yo man,
• 15:51Montay, and that that's what
• 15:53means what's wrong with you.
• 15:54Because I'm asking,
• 15:55what's the issue like I'm trying to
• 15:58communicate with the time trying
• 15:59to find out what's the matter and
• 16:02what's the situation with her.
• 16:04I guess I didn't know that
• 16:05to her when I asked her that.
• 16:07It sounds like I'm assuming she's
• 16:09broken or incorrect in some way.
• 16:10I'm just trying to figure
• 16:12out what's going on.
• 16:14I say I say so, so I'm glad we
• 16:17have this opportunity to discuss.
• 16:19Perhaps there are some cross cultural
• 16:21or cross language issue here.
• 16:23Anan that you can see that Jessica,
• 16:25you know that that didn't
• 16:27mean the way he said,
• 16:28and perhaps in my already make you
• 16:30feel in a certain way that upset you.
• 16:33I'm glad that perhaps we can be more
• 16:36aware of it and we can have a better
• 16:39way to communicate to one another.
• 16:42Now another thing that I notice you
• 16:44know Dad was trying to help Jessica
• 16:47to figure out some solution based on
• 16:50what you think that worked for you.
• 16:52Perhaps in the past,
• 16:54but it sounds pretty reluctant for for
• 16:56you to get Jessica for professional help.
• 16:59I wonder what is it all about?
• 17:03I
• 17:03just think that this is something
• 17:05that she can deal with herself.
• 17:07All of us are sad sometimes or
• 17:09like faced with tough situations.
• 17:11But I think my central part is being
• 17:13able to work through them and you
• 17:15sometimes just be able to grit your teeth
• 17:18and work hard through these issues.
• 17:19I've had times where my life has
• 17:21been going quite right and I just
• 17:23grab my teeth and work through
• 17:25it and change my circumstances.
• 17:27That's what she should do too.
• 17:29But the people have to go to doctors.
• 17:31Those people have something like
• 17:32seriously wrong with their mind,
• 17:34like they might have to take pills or
• 17:36they hear voices like those who are crazy.
• 17:38Jessica isn't crazy 'cause she's my
• 17:39daughter and there's nothing wrong with
• 17:41her and she doesn't need to see a doctor.
• 17:45Well, I see that's how you make the way how
• 17:49you think about it when we mentioned about
• 17:52going to see a doctor for mental health,
• 17:55well that's one way to see it but but
• 17:58at the same time I I notice initially
• 18:01that what brought you become so worry
• 18:04about Jessica was the pill bottle and
• 18:07as Jessica mentioned also the COVID-19.
• 18:09The bullying happening on Instagram.
• 18:11Those really negatively impacted
• 18:13Jessica and those are not trivial.
• 18:16Anne, and perhaps this is
• 18:18something like in our culture.
• 18:19Perhaps it is something really is not
• 18:22the easiest thing to reach out for help.
• 18:25Especially talking to mental health
• 18:27provider may have, you know,
• 18:29negative interpretation what it
• 18:31means to talk to a psychiatrist.
• 18:34Well, in fact you are talking
• 18:36to a child psychiatrist.
• 18:38I am one of the people there.
• 18:40I guess maybe we can work together,
• 18:43figure out some way you know we're not
• 18:45just seeing so-called crazy people.
• 18:48We are the people trying to help children,
• 18:51adolescents and young adults to help them
• 18:53to have a healthy growing development to
• 18:56do something they want to do in life.
• 18:59And especially in this pandemic,
• 19:01many children are metal and
• 19:03the lesson and even adult.
• 19:05They are really vulnerable.
• 19:06They have good reason to be
• 19:09sad and need help.
• 19:10I think that is a new learning curve.
• 19:13We can work together well.
• 19:15The same question also to Jessica Tool.
• 19:18How long have you been thinking
• 19:20about reaching out to mental
• 19:22health provider is that?
• 19:23Is there any hesitancy there too?
• 19:27Yeah, so I've been thinking about it,
• 19:29but it just I don't know.
• 19:31I just can't go to the doctor by myself.
• 19:33I need someone to take me and if
• 19:35I can't get my parents to agree
• 19:37with how we're going to solve this,
• 19:39then I don't know.
• 19:40I got really hopeless and thought about
• 19:42doing some really bad things to myself,
• 19:44but I mean like I hear from my friends,
• 19:47you know, going to the doctor can help and
• 19:49you don't always have to take medicine.
• 19:51I can go to therapy or something
• 19:53and see if that's going to help me.
• 19:56I see so it sounds like to Jessica,
• 19:59and perhaps, you know.
• 20:00There's something new to you.
• 20:02Perhaps it is also very new to that as well.
• 20:05And then as we are exploring something
• 20:08you we don't know what to expect,
• 20:10like what you expect to see a therapist
• 20:13or what to expect to see a psychiatrist.
• 20:16You know this is all new and generate
• 20:19you know and ciety and worrying
• 20:21what it is like all about, right?
• 20:23So so Dad as you can see Jessica like.
• 20:27Need someone to emotionally support her
• 20:29to navigate this uncertain T there.
• 20:33So Lastly to Jessica, if that is one
• 20:36thing you want that to change as we
• 20:39move on the alternative scenario,
• 20:42what do you want there to change so that
• 20:45you feel his emotional support to you?
• 20:50If he could let me finish kind
• 20:52of explaining how is feeling,
• 20:54or if he could be more open to other
• 20:56solutions because I mean if I end
• 20:59up hurting myself really badly,
• 21:00I think that going to the Doctor an
• 21:03even if going to the doctor is overkill
• 21:05and I don't need to go to the doctor.
• 21:08I still think it's better than doing
• 21:10these other methods that could end up
• 21:12doing something you know permanent and
• 21:14something that could really hurt myself.
• 21:16I just wish that he would open up his mind.
• 21:20These other solutions because it really
• 21:22helped me be less stressed about,
• 21:24you know, working through this thing.
• 21:27OK, Ananta dad, if there's
• 21:29one thing you can point out
• 21:31you want Jessica to change.
• 21:33So next time when she goes to
• 21:35you to tell you her feeling,
• 21:38what would you want her to change?
• 21:41I guess if Jessica could try
• 21:43like maybe if she could come
• 21:45and talk to me about things
• 21:47that would help in the future.
• 21:49Well, I guess you do that.
• 21:50I did you start by not interrupting
• 21:52her as much and trying to show
• 21:54like maybe I'm actually,
• 21:55I'm actually worried.
• 21:57OK, so that sounds like both of
• 21:59you want to make some changes
• 22:02to for better communication.
• 22:04Well, if there's one thing I can propose
• 22:07to change, perhaps that you know,
• 22:09and Jessica instead of using the angry
• 22:12and defensive mode to show your care,
• 22:15why don't we try having a more caring,
• 22:18worrying tone to carry out the conversation?
• 22:21You want to give it a try here.
• 22:25Alright, here we go version 2.
• 22:30Alternative scenario.
• 22:33Action. Jessica,
• 22:35what's happening with you?
• 22:36I found this empty pill bottle I heard
• 22:38from God that you think about hurting
• 22:40yourself and you're really unhappy
• 22:41and you want to doctor what's wrong?
• 22:44Well, I I didn't think Grandma was going to.
• 22:48That I didn't take those pills, I
• 22:51just what's wrong.
• 22:52Do you actually wanna know?
• 22:54Yeah, I wanna know what's going on.
• 22:59If I didn't want to
• 23:00know, why would I be asking you?
• 23:02See, I don't know yell at me some
• 23:05more 'cause I'm not good enough.
• 23:06No, I don't know. I
• 23:09don't yell at you 'cause
• 23:10you're not good enough.
• 23:11I'm yelling at you because I'm trying
• 23:12to make you better.
• 23:14Dad, I don't know.
• 23:15I I don't know what's wrong and
• 23:17that's the problem. I've just been.
• 23:19I've been really sad, OK?
• 23:22You have been sad.
• 23:24Yeah, for a long time now and
• 23:26it's gotten so much worse with
• 23:28the pandemic and staying home
• 23:29all the time and I've getting
• 23:31been getting bombarded with all
• 23:33these randos on Instagram that
• 23:34are telling me that it's my
• 23:36fault that coronavirus is here.
• 23:38You know the Chinese virus.
• 23:40Just delete Instagram.
• 23:41I don't have Instagram so I don't
• 23:44get these messages and I don't
• 23:46have those bad feelings. Dad,
• 23:47it's not Instagram's fault, it's
• 23:49the people. I'm giving you a
• 23:52solution. OK Dad, you're not listening.
• 23:54I don't think you understand how stressful
• 23:57it's been being home all the time.
• 23:59You and Mom are always fighting
• 24:01always yelling at me an with
• 24:04Gramma getting sick last week.
• 24:05Graham's fine, now dad.
• 24:07You asked me what's wrong?
• 24:10Do you really want to know?
• 24:11Do you really want to listen to me?
• 24:13'cause I don't feel like
• 24:14you're listening to me.
• 24:15I just feel like every time I
• 24:17try to say something you just
• 24:19try to tell me why I'm wrong.
• 24:20OK, OK, but that doesn't make
• 24:22when I'm feeling not real.
• 24:24Yeah, OK.
• 24:25OK OK I
• 24:26wanna listen to
• 24:27you. You about what's wrong.
• 24:29OK, I want you to be happy.
• 24:30I don't want you to have to go see a doctor.
• 24:34Yeah, but I think I need to see a doctor.
• 24:37Dad. There's a whole field of medicine
• 24:39that exists for this. It's not.
• 24:40It's not fake, it's not just for
• 24:42crazy people or whatever it's.
• 24:44I get really sad and I don't know
• 24:47what to do about it and so it
• 24:49makes me want to hurt myself and I.
• 24:51I don't know how not to feel this way.
• 24:56OK. And honestly, Dad,
• 24:59I didn't want to talk to you about it
• 25:01because I didn't think you'd understand
• 25:03or want to do anything about it.
• 25:04I told Grandma about it.
• 25:06Just 'cause I got to the point
• 25:08and it just came out and I need
• 25:10help and I don't know what to do.
• 25:12I
• 25:12know you trust Grandma a
• 25:14lot and gramma loves you a
• 25:15lot and she was worried,
• 25:16so that's why she told us.
• 25:19Grandma actually thinks
• 25:21you should see a doctor.
• 25:23You know, Jessica?
• 25:24I never really heard about.
• 25:29I just heard about people killing
• 25:31themselves because they got way too
• 25:32stressed or some other crazy thing,
• 25:34but it sounds like the peoples peoples
• 25:36words on Instagram are really hurting
• 25:37your feelings and this whole pandemic
• 25:39is really hard for a lot of people.
• 25:41Or maybe I haven't been trying
• 25:43to think by from your side.
• 25:45Dad, I don't know what's wrong with
• 25:47me and I know I have like a roof
• 25:50over my head and all those things.
• 25:52And even with that I still can't feel
• 25:54happy and this makes me feel even worse.
• 25:58I don't really get what's going on either,
• 26:00but I'm worried about you,
• 26:02so let's try figure out together.
• 26:03OK, like, let's make appointment with
• 26:05Doctor and I'll go with there with you.
• 26:08I love you Dad. OK.
• 26:13Alright, so probably guys
• 26:15this is the end of the skit.
• 26:18Thank you Vanessa Ann Allen, gay.
• 26:23OK, let's go back to the slide
• 26:26and continue the. Conversation.
• 26:34OK, so that was our theater arm.
• 26:38We also have public education.
• 26:40Our chat together, we grow.
• 26:43We produce flash card that to
• 26:46follow up the conversation teaching
• 26:49point coming from the skin,
• 26:51let me introduce we have a member name
• 26:55Griffey veteran who is a research associate
• 26:59at Yale Department of Evolution Biology.
• 27:03Besides science,
• 27:03she has a lot of talent.
• 27:06One of his talent is graphic design
• 27:09and also she also helped us to design
• 27:12our chat together logo as well.
• 27:14So my role as the trainee.
• 27:17I put a lot of concept that I learn
• 27:19from the residency and translator into
• 27:22lay language so that people in the
• 27:25Community can understand it an applied
• 27:28it to the real child parent interaction.
• 27:31For example here we have.
• 27:33There's just a definition of mentalization
• 27:36like imagine yourself in other other shoes.
• 27:39Be curious, nonjudgmental things
• 27:41through the lens of the other side.
• 27:45Using age appropriate language.
• 27:47So we translate this flash card
• 27:50and chill Chinese to Korean,
• 27:52and this is done by me and
• 27:56Jessica and Vanessa.
• 27:57So if any one of you have,
• 28:00like any other linguistic
• 28:02talent like join us,
• 28:04we want to spread this to other
• 28:07other community who speak
• 28:09different languages as well.
• 28:11So more of this,
• 28:13we have chat together comics.
• 28:15We use graphic.
• 28:17Graphic Madison as a way using
• 28:19visual storytelling method
• 28:21to illustrate mentalization.
• 28:23This is our other chat together
• 28:27member nearly no.
• 28:28Who is a third year medical
• 28:31student from University of Toledo.
• 28:34She is also a yell alumni really,
• 28:37really have the talent to combine
• 28:41Med medicine, an graphic design.
• 28:43So this is a comic speed between
• 28:46a modern daughter conversation.
• 28:49So Mother said you haven't been
• 28:52eating in this entire week.
• 28:53What is wrong, Mom? I think I'm depressed.
• 28:56So Mom tried to mentalize here.
• 28:59How could she be depressed?
• 29:01I don't understand,
• 29:02but right now I know my daughter is not OK.
• 29:05Maybe being a teen in this country
• 29:08can be really difficult and confusing.
• 29:10I should try to understand how she
• 29:13is feeling in order to support her.
• 29:17So Mom said,
• 29:18did I ever tell you how I felt when
• 29:20I moved to this country as a teen?
• 29:23I felt similar to how I think
• 29:25you might be feeling right now.
• 29:28So daughter also tried a mental eyes
• 29:30too really. What was that like?
• 29:32I was sad. I was lonely then too.
• 29:35I might not know exactly how it
• 29:37is for you right now,
• 29:39but I want to be there for you.
• 29:42Thanks Mom asunder heart for you
• 29:44back down to can we talk more?
• 29:47Of course.
• 29:49Show up this is a public education arm.
• 29:53Now we also have a research component
• 29:57in this program after we published.
• 30:00Culvert 19 skit on social media
• 30:03with her wanna follow up the
• 30:06question we want to see whether
• 30:09family harmony have changed after
• 30:11covid so we conduct a survey to
• 30:14understand family harmony scale
• 30:16before and after COVID-19.
• 30:18And here's the distribution within
• 30:20Asian American between 18 to
• 30:2225. So we have a research team here.
• 30:26Herman Pang who is a junior
• 30:29undergraduate student at Yale.
• 30:30Major in philosophy helping us.
• 30:33He is our chat together development,
• 30:36development, outreach, director.
• 30:37So he's helping us to recruit
• 30:40all the participants here.
• 30:42And Michelle saw who is a poster
• 30:44at Yale Department of Neurobiology
• 30:47and she is a research consultant.
• 30:50So here's some distribution as we are.
• 30:53This is a really in the middle
• 30:56of a recruiting participant
• 30:58here that is ongoing survey.
• 31:01Some of them are see they show
• 31:03increase of family harmony.
• 31:05Some show decrease how many
• 31:06some showed no change.
• 31:08So to follow up the question we want
• 31:10to see what may associate with each
• 31:13of the change we follow up with a
• 31:16qualitative study to do an individual
• 31:18interview on teens and parents.
• 31:22This line of study are performed
• 31:24by Allen and also maxou.
• 31:26Let me introduce Max.
• 31:27Max is our youngest chat together member.
• 31:30He is the Senior High School
• 31:33student from Choke Rosemary Hall.
• 31:35So together Max another member.
• 31:36We are interviewing the
• 31:38teens and parents here,
• 31:40so some of these are really
• 31:42preliminary data that we analyze.
• 31:44But we help us to guide our further
• 31:47future direction on where to look at.
• 31:50So when we asked participants about fat.
• 31:53Family harmony means to them during covid.
• 31:57They were able to identify that
• 32:00they were able to gain a new
• 32:03sense of agency with their family.
• 32:06They spend more time together
• 32:08feeling that staying safe from Covid,
• 32:11the unspoken care and peace and quiet.
• 32:14Those are the terms that they
• 32:17identify for family harmony.
• 32:19And as we are talking about cross cultural,
• 32:23family, people identify communication,
• 32:24language barrier, both verbal and nonverbal.
• 32:27Mean a lot to them and also lack of
• 32:31expressing feeling so many of the
• 32:34teens wish they could have a better
• 32:37conversation with their parents,
• 32:40with more talking about their feelings
• 32:42and interesting Lee about the conflict,
• 32:45we asked some of the participants to
• 32:47bring in an object that can symbolize
• 32:51what family harmony during COVID-19
• 32:53this particular participant bring in
• 32:56bubble wrap the package bubble wrap.
• 32:59To represent if you don't touch them,
• 33:02nothing happened.
• 33:02If you do a pop and explode,
• 33:05so there's some.
• 33:06They identify the boundary issue that some
• 33:09amplify some pre-existing issue there,
• 33:12so this is like some data.
• 33:14So far we gather, so stay tuned.
• 33:17We'll be able to show more
• 33:19results and conclusion later on.
• 33:21Now we also have our peer support
• 33:24arm some chat together member
• 33:26and I serve as a consultant.
• 33:29And peer support through the New Haven
• 33:32local community will collaborate with
• 33:35Yell China Department of Public Health
• 33:38starting pretty much since March this year.
• 33:41So this is one of the event we had
• 33:45for Asian and Asian American students.
• 33:48Don't let fear be contagious for
• 33:51covid event and we also have more
• 33:54event collaboration with China.
• 33:57Yellow Asian American Cultural Center,
• 33:59particularly for Asian
• 34:01international community.
• 34:02And address the anti Asian
• 34:04discrimination during Covid and in
• 34:07fact next week I'm holding another event
• 34:10for Chinese international student at Yale
• 34:13for for the reopening for 4th semester.
• 34:16One thing that I learn. We have a very
• 34:21unique population here in New Haven.
• 34:24The Asian International community,
• 34:26in which they really experience covid twice.
• 34:29One when they had the family back in in
• 34:34China. They have experienced kovid and
• 34:36they also have another covert experience.
• 34:38When I went to Spike in US all of the time,
• 34:42they were separated from family
• 34:44and they were also several.
• 34:46Alot of visa issue.
• 34:48They were forced to go back home or did
• 34:51decide to stay in the US and even if
• 34:54they decide to go back home now they're
• 34:57taking their online classes like 2:00 AM
• 35:00in the morning so so they really suffer
• 35:04a really unique set of vulnerability there.
• 35:07So Lastly,
• 35:08we have a collaboration arm.
• 35:11I am call collaborating with
• 35:13this gentleman here.
• 35:15His name is Jeremy Hunt who is a
• 35:18filmmaker in Hong Kong but also
• 35:22a yellow China Exchange Fellow.
• 35:24So here and I collaborate
• 35:27on a really cool project.
• 35:30We try to look at digital storytelling
• 35:33from school age teens to report.
• 35:36Express the pandemic experiences so when we
• 35:40create high school teens between 13 to 18,
• 35:43about 70 of them,
• 35:45they mostly are from Hong Kong
• 35:48and New Haven public school,
• 35:50but they also we also expand to
• 35:53other countries as well so we have
• 35:56them write a story on daily routine.
• 36:00During COVID-19 we breakdown the
• 36:02story into a small component
• 36:04an with Jeremy filmmaking.
• 36:06Variance he teach them how to create a
• 36:09corresponding shot to describe the story,
• 36:11then editing the video and have them put
• 36:14them on the log of the written essay there.
• 36:17So the goal of this project is
• 36:19to really how to how to help the
• 36:22children use the camera lens to
• 36:25show the view of the kovit world,
• 36:27and as you view from the video
• 36:29in which I will show you guys,
• 36:32as you view the video,
• 36:34you would go into the child's mind
• 36:36and how to see the view discover.
• 36:39Well there an my role would be
• 36:42helping them for self reflection.
• 36:45How did creating and showing the
• 36:48film would affect the way how
• 36:50they see the pandemic?
• 36:52Some of the respond here said it felt
• 36:55more we leaving since you get to tell
• 36:58people about certain issues encountered,
• 37:01another was spun.
• 37:02It prompt me to keep asking myself what
• 37:05makes life interesting while staying at home.
• 37:08I guess we're all asking this
• 37:11question to other respond.
• 37:12This is the people make up humanity.
• 37:15In society,
• 37:16we should be grateful for
• 37:18everything in our life,
• 37:20even the little thing.
• 37:22Now the second part of this project
• 37:25is to have the Hong Kong student
• 37:28and then New Haven student to swap
• 37:30the video and trying to mental
• 37:33eyes of each other video.
• 37:34What is that person is going
• 37:37through during COVID-19?
• 37:38Now keep in mind that this
• 37:40student they don't know
• 37:42each other. They're growing up
• 37:44in a very different places.
• 37:46Perhaps they speak English,
• 37:48but they may be like talking
• 37:50different native language,
• 37:51eating different type of food.
• 37:53You know, you know very different background.
• 37:57We are going to help them to
• 37:59have a we flip here reflection
• 38:01there in the way to train them
• 38:03to have this foster this idea.
• 38:06Intercultural empathy.
• 38:06So we go going to ask them how do
• 38:10you think the film makers feeling
• 38:13when they're making the movie?
• 38:15Some of the response at Happy
• 38:18content she is trying to show
• 38:20that regardless of location,
• 38:21this is still lucky to have a
• 38:24wide range of activity to do and
• 38:27a loving family to support her.
• 38:30Another respond sad about what
• 38:32is happening to people,
• 38:34how everything has changes, so little time.
• 38:38Sad, but not all.
• 38:40There is so much commotion revolving
• 38:42around lockdown that we tend to forget
• 38:45the little thing and be grateful for them.
• 38:48So this other respond and I want
• 38:51to take the chance to show some
• 38:54of these wonderful video here.
• 38:56K.
• 39:02OK, so this is created by the New Haven
• 39:05student. I be home school experience.
• 39:10Alright, so my whole school experience.
• 39:13Even sleep in a mic.
• 39:15I get up around 8:00 or 9 depending
• 39:17how I'm feeling then asserted day,
• 39:20but brushing my teeth and make sure
• 39:22things clean. Attica 15 minutes.
• 39:24Running my brother then minutes as
• 39:27I get home I take a deep shower.
• 39:30Once I'm done with everything after
• 39:32working on a school assignment that
• 39:35sometimes include zoom meetings.
• 39:37This takes 3 hours depending
• 39:39on which classes I have.
• 39:40If I have mouth, it takes 2 hours
• 39:43or less because I love my wife.
• 39:46A few moments later.
• 39:49It's hard to believe how much things
• 39:52have changed since the pandemic
• 39:55has opened many people's eyes.
• 39:57Many, including myself, have rulers.
• 40:00How? O we were grateful to the
• 40:02little things in our lives.
• 40:05Anti socials are missing the crowds.
• 40:07The students are missing the schools
• 40:10they used to complain about every day.
• 40:13Some are even saying maybe it was worth it
• 40:18waking up in the morning 'cause the bus.
• 40:21Many people are craving
• 40:23to come back to society.
• 40:25Is the crowd the festivals?
• 40:26The concerns determine spent to hang
• 40:29out with your friends at the mall.
• 40:32It's the people.
• 40:34They make up humanity in society.
• 40:38Of harnessed Lee learned a
• 40:40lot during this intense time,
• 40:42but most importantly African,
